| Message | Mr. Speaker, This just speaks volumes of possible corruption. I yield. |
| Date | 22:32:01, August 07, 2008 CET | From | Imperial Conservative Union (IA) | To | Debating the Nobility Act |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is better for those that work in this government to be loyal more to the Empire than to one "man". Along with that, should not all those that wish to be a member of this Empire be allowed? Finally, why not let the people elect their local leaders, it keeps them happy for they elect people they want to represent them, while they know the Emperor is looking over the Empire as a whole. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Indeed, their should be loyalty to the emperor, but at the cost of what discrimination to those like myself? I stand with the questions of the Imperial Nobles, why shouldn't all members of the empire be members of the empire, why should simply how much land they control account for it? I do believe in local elections, there is no reason we should appoint those the people could just as easily appoint. It shouldn't be a concern of the overbearing arm of big government. I yield. |

| Random fact: The people in your nation don't like inactive parties. When you often abstain from voting for a bill, they will dislike your party and your visibility to the electorate will decrease significantly. Low visibility will means you are likely to lose seats. So keep in mind: voting Yes or No is always better than Abstaining. |
